Silly farce about a jungle boy in New York.March 26, 2009
Simple truths are often the most effective, but in this instance they are only banal and mildly amusing.June 24, 2006
Typically for Disney, the villains aren't made of very stern stuff, nor indeed is fey spear-carrying Mimi-Siku.July 28, 2009
Gently humorous and moving.June 18, 2002
Mildly caustic, sentimental and slow.October 14, 2005
A fairly awful Tim Allen comedy.May 20, 2003
If you care at all about surface plausibility, adults who act like adults, or emotions that exist anywhere other than in manipulative movies, spare yourself and spare your family.July 28, 2009
This very Disney treatment of the classic fish out of water story ought to satisfy its intended audiences: kids and the parents who must accompany them.July 28, 2009
Now if only it was even slightly better than those examples of Hollywood at its laziest.March 16, 2003
It's a good cast. The movie uses the physical comedy talents of Short and Allen to good advantage.July 28, 2009
Roughly half of Tim Allen's latest comedy is hilarious-stupid, and the rest is monotonous-stupid.February 14, 2001
Huntington is wonderful at conveying Mimi's combination of naivete and intelligence, and Allen is a marvel.
